While there is no mention of storage capacity, the device could come with 16GB/32GB internal memory. The HTC Wildfire E Lite is also listed with an HD+ display that will deliver 720 x 1440 pixels resolution. It is said to come with a screen density of 320 DPI and an aspect ratio of 18:9.

As per the image on the website, the device will not feature any notch for the selfie camera; also, the bezels will be thick on all corners. Lastly, the website suggests Android 10 OS handling the software side. The handset is relatively new and the information on its hardware is limited.

The company seems to have kept all the elements basic. Not just the hardware, the design also is traditional. We don't know if the device will offer a single or dual-lens camera setup. But, looking at the leaked spec-sheet, it seems that we might get to see a single-lens setup. That's just a speculation and we will have to wait for official teasers or some authentic leaks.

The battery capacity is still at large. Considering this is an entry-level device, fast-charging support would likely be missing. We are waiting for the company to give out some confirmation on the upcoming smartphone. It would be interesting to see which market the company selects first for its debut.
